This character is definitely not to be trusted…

Red Cocept Sketches for Curio & Co.'s Spaceman Jax

For our Curio & Co.'s Spaceman Jax animation project – A version of Red that didn't cut the mustard. The design just didn't match the character attitude. But! I think there's an other character here that may join the Spaceman Jax universe.

Mantagons Concept Sketches for Curio & Co's - Spaceman Jax

I was looking for some Spaceman Jax designs for Red and… I bumped into these concept sketches for the Mantagons I did in 2010.  At the time we brought on Luca Fattore to work on the development of some of the characters and help to set the style of the project.  It really was a great experience working collaboratively. Luca and I were on design and the Kirstie from the content side.  I had previously done some initial work on the characters: Jax, Dekkin, and the Mantagons, which we passed on to Luca and within a couple of month of back and forth of design revisions we had Jax and the Mantagons locked in.

Since then we developed more characters and other products of the Curio & Co. universe, and also published a total of 5 books one of which features Jax as a main character: Spaceman Jax - Through the Mantagon Minefield. It's been quite a ride so far…

Time flies!

So many projects to realize such little time.

Back to work…

No Posting for a while on this blog?

I know, I know, I'm not Superman and I don't pretend to be.  I just can't keep up with all of the social media channels.  But believe me I've been busy since the last post, and I'll try to catch up with the news of the past couple of months the best I can in the next weeks or so.

For now though here's a bit of news


The Curio & Co. – Let's Play – Art show

Location:
Atelier Olschinsky Art Store
Esterhazygasse 11
1060 Vienna, Austria

Date:
September 15 - October 17, 2015

Opening:
Tuesday, September 15, 2015 at 7:00pm

We've been telling people about this upcoming show that Curio & Co. will be having for a while without an official announcement.  The priority had to be finishing our Tarot of Musterberg deck first, since the show was originally intending to only feature the card but, it got BIGGER ;) A part of the show will deal with a small retrospective of what Curio & Co. has been creating for the past 6 year, and how we play with pop culture.

Curio & Co. - Let's Play
A fictional universe: From comic books to vintage advertisements, Curio & Co. creates memories from an alternate history to play with the power of nostalgia. While bringing a sense of whimsy to every project, Curio & Co. grounds each artifact with details from reality to bring their make-believe world to life. This intricate game of “What if?” continues with their latest project, the Tarot of Musterberg, as they deal up fun and fantasy and suggest: Let’s play!

We spend so much time cooped up in the studio working on so many different projects that we are really looking forward to the chance of seeing our fans in person.

I should add add – a ward of thanks to ​Verena Weiss and Peter Olschinsky​ for giving us the opportunity to exhibit at their gallery.
